Description
Gerald A. Cooper,
British 1898-1975-
Still life with poppies, daisies, and convolvulus;
oil on panel, signed 'Gerald Cooper' (lower right), 77 x 63.5 cm. ARR.
Provenance:
Private Collection.
Note:
The present work, as in much of Cooper's output, clearly draws on the works of 17th-century Dutch artists such as Ambrosius Bosschaert II (1609-1645). Such an approach is evident both in its composition, with the bright and bountiful flowers set against a dark background, and in its execution, with the detail of Cooper's fine brushwork imparting the painting with a striking verisimilitude. Cooper's choice of flowers, which can be found in an English country garden, evokes a sense of domesticity which contrasts with the works of his Dutch antecedents, which typically centred on the depiction of fantastical combinations of expensive and exotic blooms.
